Fortnite Ban Wave Tracker

Easy Anti-Cheat· Community ban reports

Getting banned in Fortnite can mean different things depending on how Easy Anti-Cheat flagged your account. Some bans are temporary suspensions that expire after a set period. Others are permanent hardware bans — Easy Anti-Cheat scans running processes, checks driver signatures, and fingerprints hardware components including motherboard serial numbers, disk IDs, and MAC addresses, then blocks any machine matching those fingerprints from connecting.

We built this tracker to give Fortnite players visibility into ban patterns. Rather than guessing whether you're dealing with a ban wave or a targeted ban, you can see real data from other players. Report your own experience below to contribute to the community's understanding of Fortnite's current ban activity.

About these reports

The reports on this page are community submissions from Fortnite players who were banned for any reason — anti-cheat detections, ban waves, false flags, account-sharing, cheat-software use, suspicious behaviour, payment disputes, and so on. They are not bans that occurred while running TraceX HWID Spoofer. TraceX rewrites hardware identifiers to bypass an HWID ban after the fact — the data here exists so players can see ban-wave patterns and decide what to do next.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Fortnite banning people right now?+
Look at today's data point in the chart above. If there are more reports than the 90-day average, Fortnite may be running an active ban wave. You can also report your own ban to help other players see the trend.
I got banned from Fortnite — is it a hardware ban?+
The quickest way to tell is to create a new account on the same PC. If the new account also gets banned within minutes or hours, you have a hardware ban. Use the diagnostic tool below for a more detailed analysis of your ban type.
What hardware does Easy Anti-Cheat track?+
Easy Anti-Cheat scans running processes, checks driver signatures, and fingerprints hardware components including motherboard serial numbers, disk IDs, and MAC addresses. The exact combination of identifiers it uses can change with updates, which is why ban waves often coincide with anti-cheat updates — new detection methods catch previously undetected hardware fingerprints.
Why am I banned from Fortnite on a new account?+
This is the hallmark of a hardware ban. Easy Anti-Cheat has flagged your machine's hardware profile, not just your account. Any account you log into from the same PC will inherit the ban because the anti-cheat recognizes the hardware before it checks the account.
How long do Fortnite ban waves last?+
Ban waves themselves are usually instantaneous — the anti-cheat processes a batch of detections at once. However, the effects are permanent for HWID bans. Temporary account bans vary from 24 hours to 30 days depending on the severity of the violation.
